The Village Patisserie Cafe — Restaurant in Wellington

Street market Sunday around 1pm and there was plenty of seating available. Ordered Eggs Benedict and Caesar Salad with chicken off the Brunch menu, a banana shake and a decaf mocha. The front of house service was great - polite and friendly without being over the top. Drinks came in a timely manner as did the food. The shake was 'yummy' but the mocha seemed a little watery and very sweet. The eggs were cooked well for my liking - a little oozy and the ham was nice but the muffin hadn't been toasted enough so was a little too soft. The hollandaise tasted fine but seemed to have split.

Cheesecake was $6.80, not smooth and too sweet, but the crust was nice. Maybe try some of their meals or cabinet food that...

Lovely coffee, great eggs bene with bacon, blt was delicious, but the cornfritters with mushroom, spinach, poached egg and hollandaise was awful. The mushrooms, spinach, egg and hollandaise were lovely, but the corn fritters had been made with polenta flour - it was grainy, crunchy and over powering and tasted disgusting. You couldn't taste the corn, peppers or onions in the fritters only the raw polenta which ruined what was a...
